Pittsburgh Panthers at Miami Hurricanes (12:30 p.m. ET, ACC Network/Watch ESPN)

This game can bring back memories of the greats who have played for either Pittsburgh or Miami and had great success in the NFL. However, the teams this season aren’t battling for any national championships, but they still have players who can play on Sundays.

One of those players is second-round projection, Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya. A 6-4, 210-pound junior, Kaaya’s play this season hasn’t been what was expected, but being a pro style quarterback on a team with a questionable offensive line isn’t a good mix.

Kaaya’s stats don’t jump off the page with a 61.8-percent completion percentage. He’s thrown for 1,984 yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions. The quarterback for The U is the fifth-ranked quarterback for the 2017 draft class if he decides to forego his final season.

Pittsburgh brings outside linebacker Ejuan Price to the draft board as a fourth- to fifth-round projected pick entering Week 10 of the season. In two of his past three games, Price has five solo tackles in each game, those coming against Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech. He’s also had a sack in seven of eight games played, totaling nine sacks for the season.

This game isn’t much for the national rankings, but does have a top-five quarterback prospect and a outside linebacker who will have his name called at some point in the 2017 NFL Draft.
